I saw a live hypnotism show at college where they mass hypnotized like 15-20 people and you could tell it was fake as poo poo because anyone who wasn't "hypnotized" (i.e. not playing along) was immediately rushed off stage by like 3-4 stage hands

We are hypnotized every single day. In the media we consume, in the things we learn, the products we buy, the foods we eat, the people who voted for Trump. Everyone is suceptible to hypnotism, but not everyone can be hypnotized.

As far as "real" hypnotism goes, only those who are subconsiously ready to hypnotism should be attempted to be hypnotized. That's why stage hypnotists ask who wants to be hypnotized, and push skeptics off the stage because they can't be hypnotized. It has nothing to do with being a sham or "pretending".

If you notice stage hypnotists take 10 minutes of speech or so to get you to focus and then they ask who wants to be hypnotized, by that time those who can be hypnotized are already entranced. Sometimes you'll find people in the audience doing the same things that people on the stage are doing.

So you're saying it's fake and anyone who gets hypnotized is playing along, cool
